PORTLAND TO THE SOUND.
On the evening of the 18th inst, the
Astoria Chamber of Commerce intends to
give a dollar dinner at the Occident, and
it behooves every live Astorian to be
there. There are to be some of the
leaders of the transportation and indus
trial world of Oregon present, and things
to be said and done and hinted, that
will be well worth getting next to.
No matter what the dinner may cost,
a dollar a plate or ten dollars, it means
dollars for this community in the future,
and Astoria has a future as bright and
large and compensating as any city in
the Northwest. There is likely to be a
. good deal eid confirmatory of this, at
that time and place and we muBt all be
in touch with the prophesies and show
the prophets we are receptive and amen
able in all things. -
General Manager Nutt and General
Superintendent Forrest, of the P. & S
railway, the line that has more to do
with our future than any single interest
in the country, will be present; as will
Col. W. S. Roessler, of the U. S. Engi
neer Corps, in charge of the jetty; Hon.
Harvey Scott, editor of the Portland Ore
gonian, than whom there is no better
authority on Oregon affairs, past, and
present, in the State, when he speaks
by the card, and who knows,
and has declared, the future of
Astoria, as no. other man ever dared to
fathom, and state it, will be there, along
with T. B. Wilcox and Tom Richardson,
two Portlanders who, knowing much
may, in burets of real candor, give us
some genuine encouragement, if not as
surance, as to the things that art trending
our way and rich with good for us and
all Oregon. There will be others of note
and authority in this big premise and
this initial dinner of the Astoria Cham
ber should be the open sesame to many
a distinct advantage and realization. Let
no man forget it who has the good of
Astoria at heart I -
TROOPS TO NEVADA.
No real American likes to read of gov
ernment troops being ordered into the
States, even upon the plea of necessity
for public peace and safety; and the
President's mandate sending General
Funston and 1000 men to Goldfield,
Nevada, will be deplored from one end
of the country to the other, upon the
general principle that, as Americans, we
should be able to govern ourselves 10 as
to- obviate such extremities. '
It is but another phase of the ever
lasting war between capital and labor.
With the former as polished, resourceful,
merciless, and vindicative' as the latter
is reckless, relentless and brutal, there
can be no end to this warfare, and
society must forever remain the bruised
and battered nether-mill-stone of the
conflict, upon the ace of which the high
standards and civic graces of the day
are being ground to obliteration.
One is tempted to forswear the civili
zation he was born to and seek the peace
and stagnation of the desert in view of
the hopelessness of this eternal turbu
lence and iwrong; but the living hope
that the day and the man and the
measure of redemption, intervenes to
keep man at his post and to go on
trusting to the future just as he has
done for countless centuries.
Cupidity of the rich, the corporate
rich, and the endless struggle of the poor
to escape the thraldom of poverty, to
gether with the coarse cruelty that
characterizes the engagement the wide
world over, on both sides, leaves but
meagre ground for any possible hope
Ju4 as an indication of the exact
truth of Astoria's claim that Portland's
shipping should be handled from this
port, we quote from Friday's Evening
Telegram, of Portland, as follows:
"One of the first vessels flying the flag
of the Dons to enter the Columbia River
for years after at Astoria from Valpa
raiso this morning. She is the Spanish
steamship Minerva, under charter to
Kerr, Gifford & Co., to carry a cargo 0!
wheat to the United Kingdom. It had
been the intention to load her at Port
land, but the company has decided to
send her to Puget Sound. She will re
ceive orders this afternoon to proceed to
Tacoma. The change in plans is owing
to the congestion in the local harbor, 25
grain carriers now being assembled here.
and all that can be bandied conveniently
at one time."
We are glad to see the Portland fleet
growing to such proportions as to con
gest her harbor and compel the despatch
of foreign carriers elsewhere, for the
simple reason that this issue must be
forced upon the metropolitan conscience
scorer, or later, and the claim of Ore
gon's only great harbor be met, and
conceded, despite the patent antagonism
of the group of English shippers there.
It cannot be ignored much longer, nor
will it be after James J. Hill has per
fected his plans at the mouth of the
Columbia. His lead will be followed
quickly enough once it is demonstrated,
and Portland will wonder at the gross
stupidity she has shown for years, when
her hand is forced and she takes up
tne simpler and lefts costly program of
shipping her stuff from here. There is
some singular and ulterior motive behind
commercial program that sends grain
and lumber fleets 112 miles inland in
the one case, and 1C7 miles in the other,
when the last vessel has to pass, or en
ter, the most ample, safe and naturally
provident harbor on the route to either
of the inland destinations.
(Portland's fear of Astoria is a fetich j
now, but it will yield to the exorcising
spirit of common-sense and the common-
rate inside another 12 months.
KEEP A-GOIN.
If you strike a thorn or rose,
Keep a-goin'. '
If it hails or if it snows, ,
Keep a-goln'.
Taint no use to sit an' whine,
When the fish aint on the line,
Bait your hook an keep a tryln',
Keep a-goin'.
When the weather ills your crop,
Keep a-goin', .
When you tumble from the top,
S'pose your out 0' every dime,
Gittin' broke ain't any crime,
Tell the world your pullin fine,
Keep a-goin'.
When it looks like all is up.
Keep a-goin'.
Drain the sweetness from the cup,
Keep a-goin'.
See the wild bird on the wing.
Hear the bells that sweetly ring.
When you feel like sighin', sing,
Keep a-goin'.
HAVE GOOD CLASS RECORDS.
THE DRY-WAVE.
North, East, South, and West, the
revulsion against the liquor habit is as
serting itself with varying degrees of j
expression and success. And it is time;
for the United States, in a comparative
sense as to population and territorial
limits, has long since overtaken England
in this, her national curse. The dry
wave has -wrought an immense amount
of good and will do far more to re
balance the nation than can ever be
estimated. It is good for the rich and
for the poor, without much distinction
as to relative benefits, since the wild
profligacy of the one U no worse than
the sodden indulgences of the other.
, From Astoria to New York City is a
far cry; but the voice of public con
science has carried the length of the
route and has debouched north and
south on the. way, until whole States
and great cities are under the ban and
barrier either in whole or in part. May
it go farther and stay longer!

lect Studies.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Dec. 8. University of Oregon football
men during the season just past have
made good records in the class room aa
well as on the football field. The record!
of the Registrar's office show that of
the 20 men composing the regular squad,
only half a dozen have received grades
as low as "D" in any of their subjects.
There have been no failures and their
work as a whole compares favorably
with that of last year, when in the
final examinations in February, the foot
ball team ranked slightly better than
the average for the whole student body.
The records show also that for the twj
months just past, football men have cut
fewer clashes than any other class of
students. Reports of absences of all
students are sent to the Registrar's office
daily and a careful record is kept. The
University works on the theory that
students are there first to study, and
this means regular attendance at classes.

Muscular Pains Cured.
"During the summer of 1903 I was
troubled with muscular pains in the in
step of my foot," says Mr. S. Pedlar, of
Toronto, Ont. "At times it was so pain
ful I could hardly walk. Chamberlain'
Pain Balm was recommended to me, so
I tried it and was completely cured by
one small bottle. I have since recom
mended it to several of my friends, til
of whom speak highly of it" For sale
